Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a recording tape cartridge which has a front lid member pivotally mounted on the front surface of a cartridge case for protecting a recording tape accommodated therein, and aims to smoothly and reliablely release the front lid member which is locked in a closed position.
  • a cartridge case 1 is provided in its front surface with a tape-protecting front lid member 10 which is locked in a closed position when the tape cartridge is not used for covering and protecting the recording surface of a video tape 2 extending along the front surface of the cartridge case 1.
  • a clearance 21 for containing a locking member.
  • the locking member functions to lock the front lid member 10 in a closed position in such a manner that, when the video tape cartridge is mounted in a video tape recorder, a locking release member provided in the video tape recorder (not shown) is inserted in the clearance 21 from the front side of the cartridge case 1 to be engaged with the locking member contained in the same, thereby releasing the front lid member 10 from the locked position.
  • the clearance 21 is defined in a limited space between said side wall 15 of the cartridge case 1 and said connecting member 12 of the front lid member 10 and is extremely narrow in width, it is rather difficult to insert the locking release member in the clearance 21.
  • the locking release member cannot be inserted in the clearance 21.
  • Such inconvenience frequently arises as the video tape cartridge is made small-sized with the clearance 21 being narrowed in width.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a recording tape cartridge suitable for decreasing the size thereof.
  • a recording tape cartridge which comprises a car ridge case 1 consisting of a top section la and a bottom section lb formed by plastic resin material and connected with each other by screws in a butting manner.
  • a pair of tape reels 3 for winding a video tape 2 for recording and/or reproducing video signals.
  • the tape reels 3 are downwardly pressed at their centers of rotation by a spring plate 7 which is secured to the inner surface of an upper wall member 6 of the cartridge case 1 in positions opposite to a pair of driving shaft insertion holes 5a and 5b defined through a bottom wall member 4 of the cartridge case 1, so that driving shafts (not shown) of the video tape recorder are engaged with hub openings of the tape reels 3 through the insertion holes 5a and 5b when the cartridge case 1 is mounted in the video tape recorder.
  • a pair of tape guide members 9 are provided on both sides in the front part of the cartridge case 1 for guiding the video tape 2, which is drawn out from one tape reel 3 along the front surface of the cartridge case 1 and wound around the other tape reel 3.
  • a front lid member 10 for covering the front surface of the cartridge case 1 is pivotally connected to the cartridge case 1 in a manner capable of being opened and closed.
  • the front lid member 10 is formed by plastic resin material, and comprises a front plate 11 for covering the cartridge case 1 longitudinally along the front surface thereof, a pair of connecting members 12a and 12b rearwardly projecting from both sides of the front plate 11 and a pair of pivotal shafts 13a and 13b inwardly projecting from the connecting members 12a and 12b to be opposite to each other.
  • the connecting members 12a and 12b are engaged in stepped wall members 15c and 15d defined in front portions of a pair of side walls 15a and 15b of the cartridge case 1 in a manner stepped inwardly of the side walls 15a and 15b while the pivotal shafts 13a and 13b are rotatably engaged in through-holes 16 formed through the stepped wall members 15c and 15d.
  • the front lid member 10 pivotally rotatable about the pivotal shafts 13a and 13b between a closed position for covering the front surface of the cartridge case 1 and an upwardly opened position.
  • the front lid member 10 is urged by a torsion spring 17 to be in the closed position.
  • the front lid member 10 is closed to cover the front surface of the cartridge case 1 and protect the recording surface of the video tape 2.
  • the front lid member 10 is opened so that a tape loading pin (not shown) of the video tape recorder is inserted in a pocket member 19 formed in the front surface of the cartridge case 1 in a recessed manner for drawing out the video tape 2 frontwardly along the cartridge case 1.
  • a substantially square-shaped recess 20 is formed in the lower end portion of the front plate 11 of the front lid member 10 in the right-hand direction while a clearance 21 communicating with the recess 20 is defined between the stepped wall member 15d of the right-hand side wall 15b and the right-hand connecting member 12b of the front lid member 10 to contain a means for locking the front lid member 10 in the closed position when the video tape cartridge is not used.
  • the stepped wall member 15d is, in top plan view, slanted frontwardly toward the interior of the cartridge case 1 so that the clearance 21 is formed to be narrow in the rear portion and wide in the front portion.
  • a locking member 26 is fitted in the clearance 21 for locking the front lid member 10 in the closed position.
  • the stepped wall member 15d is slanted frontwardly toward the interior of the cartridge case 1 in top plan view, so that the clearance 20 extends frontwardly to have its rear portion narrowed and front portion widened.
  • a locking member 21 is arranged within the clearance 20.
  • the locking member 221 has a shaft 222 laterally projecting from the longitudinal center thereof, which is engagedly and rotatably supported by a bearing opening 223 defined through the stepped wall member 15d so that a forward engaging portion 224 of the locking member 221 is vertically rotated about the shaft 222.
  • An L-shaped engaging member 226 is downwardly projectingly formed in the inner surface of the front plate 11, and an end of the torsion spring 17 is brought into contact with the rear end portion of the locking member 221 to urge the same such that the front engaging portion 224 thereof is engaged, from below, with the engaging member 226.
  • a downwardly extending pressed member 230 is formed in the rear end portion of the locking member 221, and is arranged to be in the narrow rear portion of the clearance 21.
  • the front engaging portion 224 of the locking member 221 is continuously engaged with the engaging member 226 of the front lid member 10, which is in the closed position, to prevent the front lid member 10 from being rotated about the pivotal shafts 13 toward the opened position.
  • a locking release member 41 provided in the video tape recorder which also functions to prevent erroneous mounting of the video tape cartridge, is relatively guided from the front direction to enter the clearance 21 through an opening 29 recessedly formed through the lower end of the front plate 11 to press the pressed member 230 downwardly projectingly formed in the rear end of the locking member 221.
  • the forward engaging portion 24 of the locking member 221 is downwardly moved against the torsion spring 17 to be disengaged from the engaging member 226, thereby releasing the front lid member 10 from the closed condition.
  • the locking release member 41 Since the clearar e 21 is widened toward the forward end portion and narrowed toward the rear end portion, even if the video tape cartridge is mounted in the video tape recorder in a laterally deviating condition, the locking release member 41 is smoothly guided in the clearance 21, and is properly brought into contact with the pressed member 230 of the locking member 221. When the video tape cartridge is mounted in the video tape recorder in a laterally or vertically inverted condition, the locking release member 41 is not coincident with the opening 229 and is brought into contact with a portion other than t same, thereby preventing erroneous mounting of the video tape cartridge.
  • the magnetic recording tape 2 brought into contact with said inner surface 16a contingently in a condition loosened between the tape guide members 9 is effectively drawn in the interior of the cartridge case 1 and prevented from being loosened along the front surface of the cartridge case 1.
  • the stepped wall member 15d of the right-hand side wall 15b is further made thin in its front half portion through a stepped slanting surface 23 in the longitudinal center of its outer side surface so that the clearance 21 is wide in a front portion 21a frontwardly of the stepped slanting surface 23 and narrow in a rear portion 21b rearwardly of the stepped slanting s --face 23. That is, the stepped slanting surface 23 is formed forewardly of the through-holes 16 along the vertical direction, and with respect to the wide front portion 21a and the narrow rear portion 21b of the clearance 21, the stepped wall member 15d and the connecting member 12b of the front lid member 12 are opposed to each other in a parallel manner in top plan view.
  • the left-hand side of the wide front portion 21a i.e., the front end portion of the side wall member 15b facing the recess 20 is formed as a downwardly- extending slanting guide surface 25.
  • a projecting base portion 13c of a pivotal shaft 13b protruding from the right-hand connecting member 12b of the front lid member 10 is brought into contact with the outer side surface of the stepped wall member 15d to keep the lateral width of the narrow rear portion 21b constant.
  • the locking member 26 is formed by elastically deformable plastic resin material, which comprises a thin flat plate 27, a base end member 29 downwardly projecting from the base end portion of the flat plate 27 and having a longitudinal groove 28, an engaging pawl 30 projectingly formed in the lower surface of the forward end of the flat plate 27 and a pressed member 31 projectingly formed in the lower surface of the longitudinal center of the flat plate 27.
  • the innermost wall of the clearance 21 is defined by a lower wall member 32 formed in the bottom section Ib and an upper wall member 33 formed in the top section la butting against each other via through-hole 35, and the right-hand side wall 15b of the cartridge case 1 has a vertical rib 36 projectingly provided in the lower end of its inner surface close to the lower wall member 32.
  • the locking member 26 is fitted in the bottom section lb previous to assembling of the top section la and the bottom section lb. That is, the base end member 29 of the locking member 26 is inserted in the interior of the lower wall member 32 of the bottom section 1b from above to bring the longitudinal groove 28 into sliding engagement with the vertical rib 33.
  • the top section la is assembled with the bottom section 1b to be connected therewith by screws in such a manner that the lower surface of the upper wall member 33 of the top section la is brought into contact with the upper surface of the flat plate 27 of the locking member 26 to prevent the base end portion of the flat plate 27 from being raised.
  • the base end member 29 of the locking member 26 is supportedly fixed to the cartridge case 1 in a cantilever manner, so that the flat plate 27 is substantially horizontally extended into the narrow rear portion 21b of the clearance 21 via the through-hole 35.
  • the flat plate 27 of the locking member 26 is positioned below the pivotal shaft 13b such that the engaging pawl 30 is located forewardly of the pivotal shaft 13b to be engagingly in contact, by virtue of elasticity of the flat plate 27, with an engaging member 37 projectingly formed in the inner surface of the right-hand connecting member 12b of the closed front lid member 10 from above.
  • the pressed member 31 of the locking member 26 is arranged to be in the narrow rear portion 21b of the clearance 21.
  • a central coiled portion 17a is engaged in the pivotal shaft 13b and an end portion 17b is engagedly supported within a vertical groove 39 formed in the outer surface of the stepped wall member 15d of the right-hand side wall 15b while the other end portion 17c is supported by a spring bearing 40 provided in the inner surface of the right-hand connect- in g member 12b of the front lid member 10.
  • the engaging pawl 30 in the forward end of the locking member 26 is continuously engaged with the engaging member 37 of the front lid member 10 from above to prevent the front lid member 10 from being rotated about the pivotal shafts 13a and 13b to the opened position, thereby locking the same in the closed position.
  • a locking release member 41 fixed in the video tape recorder is relatively guided in the forward direction to enter the clearance 21 through the recess 20 of the front lid member 10 and press the front lower end of the pressed member 31 of the locking member 26.
  • the flat plate 27 of the locking member 26 is elastically deformed upwardly from its base end portion, so that the engaging pawl 30 is disengaged from the engaging portion 37 of the front Ld member 10, thereby releasing the front lid member 10 from being locked in the closed position.
  • the lateral width of the recess 20 formed in the front plate 11 of the front lid member 10 is preferably set such that the locking release member 41 is guided to be close to the left-hand direction in Fig. 4, i.e., close to the slanting wall member 15d of the right-hand side wall 15b rather than to the longitudinal center of the clearance 21.
  • the locking release member 41 is first brought into contact with the slanting guide surface 25 through the recess 20 and then inserted in the wide front portion 21a of the clearance 21 with leeway, to be in contact with the stepped slanting surface 23 and accurately guided toward the narrow rear portion 21b to appropriately press the pressed member 31 of the locking member 26.
  • each projection 43 Since the forward butting surface 44 of each projection 43 is positioned at the middle of the thickness of the front plate 11, even if the video tape cartridge is repeatedly mounted in and removed frcm the video tape recorder to abrade or scratch the forward butting surface 44, such abrasion or scratches are inconspicuous. Further, the front lid member 10 is effectively prevented from receiving dust or dirt in the interior thereof through the openings 42.
  • the slanting guide surface 25 faces the front outer surface of the front lid member 10 keeping in contact with the forward butting surface 44 of the projection 43 even when the front lid member 10 is in the closed position, thereby allowing the locking release member 41 to be in contact with the slanting guide surface 25.
  • the locking release member 41 also functions to . prevent erroneous mounting of the video tape cartridge by smoothly entering the clearance 21 through the recess 20 when the video tape cartridge is properly mounted in the video tape recorder while being in contact with other portions to interfere therewith when the video tape cartridge is mounted in the video tape cartridge in a laterall or vertically inverted condition, thereby preventing erroneous mounting of the video tape cartridge.
  • a vertical inner side surface 46 of the slanting wall member 15d of the right-hand side wall 15b is slanted toward the central portion of the cartridge case 1 along the frontward direction in top plan view so that the video tape 2 is drawn in the interior of the cartridge case 1 along the inner side surface 46 of the slanting wall member 15d even if the video tape 2 is loosened in the inner side of the right-hand tape guide member 9, thereby preventinq the video tape 2 from being loosened.
  • the video tape cartridge shown in the embodiment of the present invention is so formed that the clearance 21 defined between the side wall 15 of the cartridge case 1 which receives the locking member 26 for the front lid member 10 and the connecting portion 12 of the front lid member 10 is stepped to have a wide front portion 21a and a narrow rear portion 21b. Therefore, even if the video tape cartridge slightly deviates in either left-hand or right-hand direction when being mounted in the video tape recorder, the locking release member 41 of the video tape recorder can be easily inserted in the clearance 21 having the wide entrance through the recess 20 of the front lid member 10.
  • the lccking release member 41 Upon such insertion in the clearance 21, the lccking release member 41 is effectively guided toward the narrow rear portion 21b of the clearance through the stepped slanting surface 23 to be properly in contact with che pressed portion 31 of the locking member 26.
  • the frontwardly-extending slanting guide surface 25 is formed at least in either the right-hand or left-hand side of the front end opening of the wide front portion 21a of the clearance 21 for guiding the locking release member 41, the locking release member 41 can be further smoothly inserted in the clearance 21.
  • the present invention is particularly effective in a small-sized recording tape cartridge which bears merely a small space in design for the clearance 21.
  • usage of the present invention is not limited to video tape cartridges alone, and can be applied to various types of recording tape cartridges.
